TGIF!

Mmm. Thin mints are so addictive. I am gorging myself. NO. SELF. CONTROL.

Today was goodbad, as I mentioned to Elly earlier. The especially good part was when I got my chemistry quiz back. Fifty out of fifty, baby. Fucking top! And I felt an extra swell of pride when I did better than my lab partner, who is a chemistry star and always does just a tiny bit better than me on tests.

But then in le mathematics class we got our quizzes from yesterday back. *sadface* 28/40. That made me quite unhappy until he handed back all our old tests and quizzes so we can study for the midterm. They were all: 54/50, 25/25, 100/100, 98/100, 98/100, 39/40, 97/100, 93/100. So I was like, oh, right, I'm smart. And thankfully it only brought my grade down to a 96.

Current standings:
1) ENG II H-0120-1 95.32
2) WCIV II H-0220-2 95.70
3) ALG II H-0330-7 96.23
4) CHEM H-0410-5 94.63
5) PE 10TH-0514-16 100.00
6) GER III H-0640-8 90.87
7) LATIN I ACC-0655-3 101.01
8) ART I TAL-0710-4 96.21
9) ACAD ACC MATH H-0800-3 100.00
10) ACAD ACC ENG H-0810-3 100.00

And because I'm a loser, I've worked out the lowest grades I can get on the midterms and still get an A for the semester.

English: 70.56%
World civ.: 67.35%
Math: 63.06%
Chem: 70.68%
German: 71.46%
Latin: 44.60%

That shouldn't be too hard to manage. ;)

I went to the computer lab after school today and talked with Mike about websites and HTML for a little under an hour. That was fun; he's really great.

Tonight I'm going to Ryan's to watch a movie, I think. Katie was rather vague.

Also, remember my previous posts about coincidences? I have two more for you, and strangely they both involve A.Word.A.Day [eureka! another coincidence! ;)].

Emily commented on my blog today, so I was visiting her site, which is called The Torment of Tantalus [Emily is cool: she uses MovableType, and she reads my blog, even though she has no personal stake in my life. It makes me feel happy when I know it's not just my family and friends reading my blog to spy on me, but actually real people who don't even know me. *happy*]. She explains the title of her site here: "Tantalus was a Greek king who was sentenced in Hades to stand in a pool of water which would recede every time he leaned down to take a drink. A rather morbid name for a blog, eh? Especially after switching from "Happy to be so". But have no fear, I remain forever the optimist and geek that you know. I actually took the title from an episode of Stargate SG-1 of the same name."

Then I was checking my mail, and today's word of the day is tantalize! "After Tantalus in Greek mythology. Tantalus, a king of Lydia, was condemned to stand in Hades chin deep in water and under fruits that receded whenever he tried to drink water or eat the fruit."

And on Tuesday the word was gerrymandering, and then for academic access English we had to do all these analogies, and one of the words was gerrymandering. So I was like, ooh, ooh, I know this word. :D

Oh, life. You make everything so much fun for me. =)
